Flavourful coconut soup

Back when I lived in the US, I was fortunate enough to meet other young people from all over the world – one of them a wonderful girl from Thailand! We had a “Culture night” and she cooked an amazing coconut soup, a soup I just couldn’t get out of my head, unfortunately, I forgot to ask for her recipe that day, and when I texted her a couple of weeks later, she told me that there was no real recipe she never made the same soup twice so she had no recipe to give… Naturally, this was a huge disappointment for me, but then I figured that if she could just make it up on the go, maybe so could I! And so I did! I made up my own version of her coconut soup building on the tastes that I remembered and tastes that I know I like, so here you have it – A flavourful Thai coconut soup recipe.

Ingredients:

1 onion

3 cloves of garlic

2 cans of coconut milk

4 teaspoons of dried ginger (You can also use fresh ginger if you prefer)

4 teaspoons of dried chili flakes (You can also use fresh chili, use 1 or 2)

4 teaspoons of red curry paste

3 teaspoons of tomato puree

2.5 dl of cream (1 cup)

1 vegetable broth cube

1 liter of water (4 cups)

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

2 tablespoons of oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Filling:

Really you can put most vegetables in this soup, however, I usually use broccoli and red bell peppers

I usually make it without meat, but you could easily put chicken in this soup if you’d like, I’ve done it before and it was tasty

Directions:

Cut the onion and garlic finely

Pour the oil into a medium pan

Add the onion, garlic, 2 teaspoons of tomato puree, half of the ginger, half of the chili and half of the curry paste and stir until the onions become glassy

Pour in the coconut milk, the water, the vegetable broth cube and the cream

Bring to a boil and add the lemon juice and the rest of the ginger, chili, tomato puree and curry paste

Taste with salt and pepper – you can also add more of the other spices if you like it more spicey

Add the filling and let it cook at a simmer for 7-8 minutes

If you’ve added chicken make sure to cook it until the chicken is fully cooked through!

ENJOY!!
